And finally we have our first look at the leader of the company of dwarves from Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit, Richard Armitage as the dwarf hero Thorin Oakenshield, son of Thráin, son of Thrór, King Under the Mountain.
Through long years of hardship, Thorin grew to be a strong and fearless fighter and revered leader. In his heart a fierce desire grew; a desire to reclaim his homeland and destroy the beast that had brought such misery upon his people. So when fate offers him an unusual ally, he seizes the chance for revenge.
